Marlon Villar, who directed the music video for Dethroned, took some really excellent band pictures, and they’re now up on our Facebook page.
Make sure you check them out, they kick ass!
Update: Sight of Emptiness has been selected to open for Megadeth. Congratulations and best of luck!
It’s no secret: we want to be the opening act for the upcoming Megadeth show in Costa Rica. As one of the leading bands in the thrash heavy metal scene, Megadeth is one of out greatest inspirations, and we think our sound will be a great complement for theirs. Plus, it’s going to be one of the heaviest events of the year.
So, if you want to support Pneuma, please join our Facebook event! All you need to do is RSVP if you want to support us. Please join as soon as possible, the opening act picks will probably happen this week!
Pneuma continues to expand on the net and appear on TV and radio, and we’re doing our best to keep you updated. Here are some exciting news we have from various sources:
- The music video for Dethroned was featured on Blabbermouth.net. Make sure to show your support!
- We now have an official band listing on Last.fm: http://www.last.fm/music/Pneuma+Metal. Dethroned is available for playing and downloading, as well as the music video, band bio and news.
- We have also uploaded Dethroned to Grooveshark.com. There are no artist pages there, but you can easily find us if you search for “pneuma”.
We’re also the Artist of the Month in a progressive rock program which airs on UCR Canal 15, Costa Rica. A different interview with Tony and Daniel will be shown every Wednesday night and clips from our presentation at the World Magnetic tour will be shown. Show times will be updated here.
Anomaly is still being mixed and mastered, but most of it is already in its final stages, and we can tell you it’s gonna kick ass! We expect it to be done sometime this month, and we will be making it available shortly thereafter.
More news coming soon!
Update: sadly, the concert was canceled due to technical difficulties setting up the stage. We hope this doesn’t damage the great image Costa Rica has been building up with high-profile concerts like Iron Maiden and Metallica.
We received really good news today!
The Costa Rican band Diesel has been selected as one of the opening acts for the Guns N’ Roses concert to be held on April 9th, at the Estadio Ricardo Saprissa. The other opening acts will be Ghandi and Akasha, also local.
Diesel has been very successful locally, exclusively playing hard rock and heavy metal classics from the likes of Metallica, AC/DC, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. Pneuma’s Tony Masís and Daniel Vega are also members of Diesel, and we wish them all the best of luck.
Dethroned is now being featured on Costa Rican television and radio. If you want to see or hear Dethroned, please take some time to request it!
